We’re never going to see LeBron James in the All-Star weekend Dunk Contest. People will read into that whatever they want — he didn’t take part in an exhibition event — and it will say more about them then and their biases than it does LeBron.

But man, it would have been fun to see him do it.

This latest Nike ad ends with LeBron throwing down an impressive dunk in a mock Dunk Contest. Makes you wonder what might have been.

Wake me when he actually stops being scared to lose . Maybe if the great king gets a police escort , he’ll actually go . Then all of his minions and sycophants can follow him with rose pedals….all hail the king….#whatajoke#

Those ‘Best of 2012-2013′ videos the NBA put out should have had at least one of LeBron’s pre-game dunks. Remember how that actually became a story… his pre-game dunk show? He pulled off some spectacular dunks, but I still doubt he has the creativity to win the dunk competition.
